Good-Bye Mr.Bronson.  Hello Mr.Willis

[Ohwell]

Whaaaat???

I can't believe they're remaking this.

Oh, wait, yes I can.

What year is this? 1985?

They really wanted to redo a classic man-goes-apeshit-because-wife-was-killed-movie? Movies?

How tone-deaf can Hollywood be? Do they want to make fridging fashionable again?

You saw who was directing it, right?

Should that tell me something? I've never heard of the man. Looking at his output on IMDB, there isn't anything I've ever seen. What makes me wonder is why Bruce Willis and Vincent D'Onofrio can't get better work. Or at least less offensive work.

Eli Roth is a fairly big name in the sub-genre of horror known as "Torture Porn" with such lovely entries like Hostel, Hostel 2 and Cabin Fever. 

Not really a fan of his directing, but I did enjoy him as the "Bear Jew" in Inglorious Basterds.

Then he must have a death wish for this movie.

Ah, so just as offensive as torture porn. Just somewhat differently offensive but equally distasteful, IMO.

Ah, that guy. Yeah I can't watch that crap.

Looks like they updated the movie to be about revenge over his daughter? At least that's what the blurb on IMDB leads me to believe.

I'm surprisingly not upset by this remake. I was massively annoyed with The Mechanic remake (my favorite) and IF any idiot tries to remake The Dirty Dozen there will be Hell to pay. However, I was never really impressed/attached to Death Wish. I won't watch this in a theater but, I'll probably check it out on cable.
